$opnick was b4 mode change... - mIRC Discussion Forums

hey, is there a way to tell what $opnick's status was before a mode change?

like on *:deop:*:{ echo -a $opnick was $lastmode($opnick) }

NightChillz Was Participant

know what i mean?

i know 1 way but im afraid it wud have to set a variable for every nickname in the channel

tell me if ya still want it coz i dont wanna wast ma time

well, i know i can do it in a round about long way, like settings vars to all ops, and whatever, but i was looking for a command or something that returns the previous mode for the specified user, if there is one....

Can't you assume they have the same exact mode, just opless? If they had @%+ before, and they are deopped, now they should just be %+, right?

/updatenl
Usually the channel nicknames list and IAL in a kick/part/quit script event are updated after the script finishes, this command updates them immediately
</help>

Unless something recently changed, $opnick should still appear to be opped in a DEOP event.

Code:

On *:DEOP:#: {
  echo -a $opnick was $iif($opnick isop $chan,Opped,NOT Opped) before this event.
  updatenl
  echo -a $opnick is now $iif($opnick isop $chan,Opped,NOT Opped) after this event.
}

See Also this post where I also explained this effect just recently.

yeah i thought something like that too, but for some reason it doesnt work, on *:op is only triggered during the mode change, so it returns whatever the made being set was

but the problem with that is on this server, you can set -o $nick, even if the $nick is already -o, so i was hoping there was another way(cause i already tried something like what u posted), but it doesnt look like it, so i'll have to store the ops onjoin, and do it that way...... thanks anyway(perhaps an idea for something to be added to the next version of mirc: $lmode($nick,$chan) to return the previous mode for that user befor the last mode change on that user)

Interesting, I just tested the example script I posted.. and it appears you're right. I guess the only events that show a user's status before the event actually occured; are Join, Part, Quit and Kick.

Khaled, it would really be nice if /updatenl were as useful more events that effect the IAL and Nicklist.
